A popular year-round resort, Madeira is visited every year by about one million tourists, noted for its Madeira wine, flowers, landscapes and embroidery artisans, as well for its annual New Year’s celebrations that feature the largest fireworks show in the world. The main harbor in Funchal is the leading Portuguese port in cruise liner dockings, being an important stopover for commercial and trans-Atlantic passenger cruises between Europe, the Caribbean and North America.

The Islands have two airports, Funchal Airport on the Island of Madeira and the other in the island of Porto Santo.
